Buy iPad 10.2-inch — Education — Apple

There are two SIM options for connecting your iPad with Wi-Fi Cellular to a data plan: a physical SIM card or eSIM technology.^*** (Note: iPad with Wi-Fi models cannot connect to cellular networks.)

Physical SIM card: All Wi-Fi Cellular models have a physical nano-SIM tray that will hold a carrier nano-SIM card (also called 4FF SIM card). Your iPad may have a carrier SIM card already installed if you purchased it from a carrier. If not, you can contact your carrier to obtain an appropriate card for your iPad. Some iPad models also support an Apple SIM card. For more information, go to https://support.ipad-mobile.ru/HT203089.

eSIM technology: Newer Wi-Fi Cellular models include built-in eSIM technology that essentially acts as a digital SIM card. There are a few ways to activate an eSIM on your iPad, including downloading it right on the iPad itself, scanning a QR code, or using an app from a carrier. With eSIM, you can choose cellular data plans from select carriers in the U.S. and in more than 180 countries and regions around the world. For more information on setting up eSIM, go to https://support.ipad-mobile.ru/HT203089.

The Apple Trade In program makes it easy to trade in an eligible iPad. Just answer a few questions regarding the model and condition, and we will provide an estimated trade-in value◊◊ or a simple way to recycle it for free if it’s not eligible for credit.

If your iPad is eligible and you accept the quote, we will send you a free trade-in kit, separate to your new iPad (at not cost to you) so you can then send in your current iPad within the 14 day return window.

Once we receive your iPad, we’ll inspect it and verify its condition. If the condition matches what you described, there’s nothing more you need to do. If the condition doesn’t match, a new trade-in value will be provided. You’ll have the option to either accept this revised value or reject it. We’ll work with you to confirm that you still want to move forward with the trade-in.

If you buy online and choose to pay with Apple Card Monthly Installments, we’ll instantly apply your estimated trade-in value to the purchase of your new iPad. If you pay in full, your trade-in value is applied as a refund to your original payment method. This happens once we receive your eligible iPad and confirm that the condition matches what you described.

The trade-in process can take up to 2-3 weeks.

You can also trade your device in at an Apple Store at the point of purchase, however the trade-in value in store may be different from the estimated trade-in value you received online.
